OpenStudy (anonymous):

is y opposite, adjacent or hypotenuse

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 7 opposite or adjacent

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right, so do we use sin, cos or tan?

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

this is where i get confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you remember Soh Cah Toa?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin = opp/hyp, cos = adj/hyp, tan = opp/adj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do we use?

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we have sin(45) = 7/y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we need to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 7/sin(45)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=9.899

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

\[9\sqrt{8}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope \[7\sqrt{2}\]
